The Skeleton Key is a 2005 American Southern Gothic supernatural horror film directed by Iain Softley, written by Ehren Kruger, and starring Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands, John Hurt, Peter Sarsgaard, and Joy Bryant. The narrative follows a New Orleans hospice nurse who begins a job at a Terrebonne Parish plantation home, and becomes entangled in a supernatural mystery involving the house, its former inhabitants, and Hoodoo rituals and spells that took place there.

I love the slow burn of this film, it really gets you. A young hospice nurse running from her demons and trying to figure out her own path takes a job out in the rural areas of Louisiana. As Caroline explores the spooky old house she’s now working in she finds more questions than answers.
That creepy room in the attic? Locked for good reason. The husband? Not a stroke. The wife? Not as crazy as she looks. The real estate lawyer? Not who he seems.
The house and it’s tenants have a long history, and it’s not a pretty one, but don’t worry you’re absolutely safe, until you start believing in the magick…
My Rating: ★★★★
